Re: Avid artist control disconnect
I've been noticing something about EUCon that absolutely baffles me.
On my Macbook Pro (10.6.8), EUCon blasts 20 UDP packets every second, via WiFi, out to an IP that isn't on the network. Three IPs in total, 224.1.239.2, 224.1.239.42 and something else I can't remember. Those are not Artist series IPs, they are for the MC Pro (see here). One of those is a "discovery" IP, fair enough. But even if I had that kind of device, I would be using ethernet to connect to it? So why are these packets going out over WiFi, even if I have selected Ethernet in my EuCon Preferences panel. The kicker is this UDP traffic eventually kills my internet (wifi) in a pretty brutal way wherein my otherwise very reliable router slows down all WiFi traffic to a halt, or locks up its LAN interface (if I use a secondary base station) requiring a cold restart. I've no idea if Avid/Euphonix software engineers read here, but I darn sure would appreciate one of them explaining what the flying hey they've tried to do and obviously didn't go as they thought. |

Re: Avid artist control disconnect
Interesting - where is this option ? I've not noticed such an option in the EuControl Settings panel, but could easily have missed it.
Rather, I'd have assumed EuCon would simply use whatever network internet the Mac is set to use via OSX System Preferences. I imagine some people might well use a laptop wirelessly with MC devices - which themselves connect via wired ethernet to the wireless router. I'm not sure why EuCon is sending this stuff. Has it definitely "found" all your surfaces OK ? Do the surfaces actually work ? That said, in the grand scheme of things, 20 packets a second is absolutely nothing. At least, in terms of volume on the wire. If it "kills your Internet", I fear you must have a router that's far too easily killed. Might be worth trying a better/different router. |

The software engineers could figure out which interface will be used to communicate to the device(s) and to not shout UDP in the nothingness. They could stick to using only that interface, and to restrict mix&match of interfaces in the software and documentation. Certainly in that preferences panel one could just indicate what devices they have and which network interfaces to use. That has got to be easy! And maybe they could open a slow TCP connection over whichever interface and to make sure that's alive every now and again, rather than pollute the network space with junk that creates backlog for any device trying to be intelligent and failing. I love UDP to bits and have done my share of projects with it, so have nothing against the protocol. And I realise that "it's complicated", don't get me wrong. But this is appalling as it stands. |

Most "home" networks use the 192.x.x.x address range, and 10.x.x.x devices will not be "seen" on those networks. Check the address of the LAN side of your router, then use that address range...
